They have sat back and watched other clubs waste money, while the wave of teenagers they signed on the advice of super scout Juni Calafat have matured in the company of players like Antonio Rudiger who arrived on a free in 2022 and scored the winning penalty last night. It's hard to think of shrewder club in Europe right now.

OLIVER HOLT: Any list - your list as well as mine - can be dominated by those who are not on it. However, it should really be about the participants who are on it.

You'll disagree with some of the names on the list, and you'll be correct. Another man's garbage is another man's treasure.
